Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway,
the Isle of Palms has earned a reputation for being a
classic family-oriented beachfront community. Located
east of the Cooper River from Charleston, this barrier
island features moderate year-round temperatures, seven
miles of broad scenic beaches, a breathtaking blue ocean,
spectacular marsh views, and a full-service marina on
the Intracoastal Waterway.
Through the years, improved access to the Isle of Palms
has played an important role in this resort island's growing
popularity, with Interstate-526 leading directly to the
island via the Isle of Palms Connector. Now with more
than 4,000 permanent residents, and a thriving vacation
destination business, the island has not lost the charm
for which it is famous.
Isle of Palms relaxing atmosphere contrasts with the numerous
recreational activities available to residents through
the Isle of Palms Park and Recreation Department. These
activities include aerobics, baseball, basketball, gymnastics,
soccer, softball and tennis. Residents also enjoy crabbing
and shrimping in the beautiful creeks and deep green marshes
that separate this semi-tropical island from the mainland.
There is also a family-oriented park located right on
the beach.
A complement of goods and services are available to Isle
of Palm residents, including a number of retail and specialty
shops, as well as a grocery store and numerous restaurants.
Housing options include spacious modern homes, traditional
beach houses, beachfront villas and clusters of cottages
overlooking a variety of views.
Tucked away on the northeast end of Island of Palms is
the world-renowned Wild Dunes Resort. No matter how people
prefer to spend their leisure time, Wild Dunes has plenty
to offer, including two and a half miles of private beach,
a Top 50 tennis center, 20 swimming pools, great restaurants,
a fitness center, full-service conference facilities and
a magnificent oceanfront Grand Pavilion.
Wild Dunes Resort provides another South Carolina necessity
golf. The resort's two courses, The Links and The Harbor
Course, were both designed by Tom Fazio. The Links ranks
among the top 40 golf courses in the country, while The
Harbor Course features holes that follow the Intracoastal
Waterway. |
